Nimble-Thimble

I don’t often find someone who can repair and enhance my clothing better than I can myself. I was in a pinch and needed some help tailoring clothes that were long since too big for me. The work done here was fantastic. I have never had such a perfect fit unless I did the work myself. She trimmed clothes down two sizes without as much as a blink of an eye. I not only brought in lined summer dresses but beloved kilts of my youth which she sized down from 14s to 6s, even brought up the former Catholic School Girl Appropriate Hems to modern lengths AND gave me back the fabric to make clutches from. I cannot express in words how much it means to me that I can go here with pieces of my collection and know it will be done perfectly.
I am not a «regular», I just walked in off Linden Street on the recommendation of a friend who had gorgeous gowns for a wedding. The work was done within the requested time and it was done to perfection. I cannot wait until winter so I can wear the skirts I have not been able to wear for many years because the fabric were too precious to trust to my skills, they were waiting for the right person to come along and she did, right at Nimble Thimble. It takes a few minutes to find a parking space but it is worth it. If necessary, park on the street and walk over, the work is that good.

I’ve never had anything but positive experiences here! Her work is great and her rates are so reasonable that I don’t mind if I have to wait a week or so for my things to be ready. I have recommended Nimble Thimble to many and will continue to do so!

If you are not a regular, do not go here. I dropped off three things to be hemmed and was told to come back the next week. To make a long story short, I went back a total of four times b/​c the job hadn’t been done each time and on my last visit and three weeks later, I just took my unhemmed clothes back with me. She only cares about people she knows. No apology or anything.
